Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 127 The Lord of Cloud Peak Welcomes the Crowd

Chen Qingxuan unceremoniously got into the passenger seat, and Chu Chen stepped on the gas, heading towards the Cloud Peak.

"Young Master Chu, why is this carriage traveling at such an extreme speed?"

After experiencing the speed of the armored vehicle, Qiu Ze couldn't help but speak up.

"Haha, Lord Qiu, this carriage is many times faster than your horse-drawn carriage. You will not suffer any injustice on this journey to the Cloud Peak."

Chu Chen said to Qiu Ze without turning his head.

Even though it's a thousand miles away, it's still within a few hundred kilometers.

If we set off early this morning and don't want to get too tired, we should be able to arrive tomorrow.

"I originally thought this trip would take half a month, but I never expected that you would have such a wonderful artifact, young master."

"I think we'll be able to enter Cloud Peak City in less than three days."

Roy Chiu touched this and looked at that with great excitement, his face full of wonder.

Chen Qingxuan, on the other hand, leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to rest.

They sped along until noon, when Chu Yi woke up from his sleep.

The four found an open space, took out portable pots and pans, and ate a little something hastily.

Chu Yi then took the steering wheel.

This kid is incredibly talented. After practicing all night, he had no problem driving on the road.

Although we can't keep up with Chu Chen's speed, we're not in a hurry.

Along the way, Chu Yi noticed the horrified or envious glances cast at him from all around.

He felt extremely satisfied, knowing that there were probably no more than a handful of people who could drive this car.

What an honor this is! All of this is thanks to the young master's cultivation.

Thinking of this, she felt grateful to Chu Chen once again.

Meanwhile, Chu Chen was chatting casually with Qiu Ze in the back row.

That night, we found a guesthouse in a nearby small town and had a comfortable night's stay.

The next day, to the innkeeper's astonishment, Chu Yi stepped on the gas and continued driving towards the jade mine, following the direction Qiu Ze had indicated.

In the heart of Cloud Peak City, inside a mansion, a man dressed in official robes was pacing back and forth.

"You're saying that His Majesty bestowed the largest jade mine in the Cloud Peak upon a young nobleman?"

"That's right, sir. It's said that this person has a very good relationship with His Majesty, and is even the Eighth Prince's..."

Si Wei frowned and snapped at the butler who seemed hesitant to speak.

"Hey Lao Huang, aren't you getting more and more timid as you get older? Just say what's on your mind, what about the Eighth Prince?"

"Master, this man is said to be the sworn brother of the Eighth Prince. What do you think of him?"

Holy crap, the Eighth Prince's sworn brother, that's some serious background. Looks like I should befriend him.

As a local resident of this cloud-top city, I have served as its lord for many years.

They suffered greatly from the Kingdom of Nagampo and had to send troops every year to defend against foreign enemies.

However, it seems that the higher-ups don't really value this remote place in the clouds.

Therefore, most of the pressure fell on Si Wei.

If a member of the royal family were to arrive, this cloud-top would be a completely different place.

Secondly, the higher-ups should also send troops to protect them.

This will increase the power of the clouds.

Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Old Huang, when will they arrive? Come with me out of the city to greet them. And while you're at it, bring Si Liyu with you."

This Si Liyu is Si Wei's beloved daughter, perhaps related to the jade produced in this cloud-top region.

This Si Liyu is naturally beautiful, like a piece of unpolished jade. She is now eighteen years old and very pretty.

Even if this young master is not His Majesty's biological son, he is the sworn brother of the Eighth Prince.

If there is a chance to climb that line, then this cloud peak will receive even more attention from above.

"Sir, it's said they're coming in a strange black vehicle, incredibly fast, and are expected to arrive at the city gate around noon."

"Alright, Lao Huang, get ready quickly, we'll go and greet you."

Old Huang accepted the order and left, thinking on the way: Being the Lord of Cloud Peak City is not easy. Look, even his own daughter is willing to sacrifice herself.

The city lord has gone to great lengths for the people of Yundian; he is truly a good official.

At midday, a black armored vehicle sped by.

"Young Master Chu, that is Cloud Peak City. The city lord, Si Wei, is a very upright person. It's just a pity that he is too far from the capital and has no opportunity to curry favor with the city. Therefore, Cloud Peak City is not developing well."

After listening, Chu Chen in the car took out a pair of binoculars from behind him and looked towards the city gate.

Under the blazing sun, the city gate was crowded with people, seemingly waiting for something.

Could it be that this is a welcome to me? If so, then this city lord must have some request.

However, if you are mining on someone else's land and there is harassment from other places, it is beneficial to maintain good relations with the local authorities.

Chu Chen said he could accept any request as long as it wasn't excessive.

The car came to a smooth stop at the city gate.

Looking at the few people standing in front of me, their foreheads covered in sweat from the scorching sun, wearing thick official robes.

Chu Chen immediately ordered everyone to get out of the car.

"Lord Si Wei of Cloud Peak City welcomes Young Master Chu and his entourage."

Upon seeing Chu Chen and his group get out of the car, Si Wei quickly bowed and greeted them.

At this moment, Qiu Ze also stepped forward: "Lord Si, you are too kind. This is Young Master Chu."

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands to Si Wei, and said, "I am Chu Chen. I greet City Lord Si. I hope City Lord Si will take good care of me in the future on this cloud peak."

Seeing Chu Chen being so polite, Si Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he had been wondering before whether this Young Master Chu would be as difficult to approach as other members of the royal family.

At this moment, a pretty girl behind Si Wei stepped forward and bowed to Chu Chen.

"This humble woman is Si Liyu, and greets Young Master Chu."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen looked up and exclaimed, "Holy crap, where did this beautiful woman come from?"

She was dressed in a light gauze dress, with a beautiful figure and fair skin. Her two big, watery eyes seemed to be able to cool down the temperature of the scorching sun.

"Chu Chen greets Miss Si. May I ask who you are?"

“Young Master Chu, this is my daughter. She heard of your arrival and came here to see you.”

Si Wei said to Chu Chen without blushing or skipping a beat.

You're just talking nonsense. It's obvious you sent them. You're saying you were attracted by my reputation? Are you attracted by my reputation for being a scumbag with a lot of beautiful women around me and my romantic adventures?

But no matter what, she is still the daughter of the city lord, and in this ancient time, in a remote small city.

This is completely the existence of a princess from a humble background.

So he turned around and took out a bottle of perfume from the backpack behind Chu Yi.

"It's rare for Miss Si to think so highly of me. This is just a small gift, nothing more."

After saying that, he handed over the perfume.

When Si Wei saw the transparent glass bottle, he thought to himself that Young Master Chu was being far too generous.

Is this glass? No, it should be crystal, otherwise why would it be so clear?

So he quickly said, "Young Master Chu, this gift is far too precious, how can we accept it?"

"Haha, Lord Si, this item is called perfume. Miss Si is so beautiful, she deserves this."

After Chu Chen finished speaking, he opened the lid and sprayed it a few times in front of the group.

Instantly, a wonderful fragrance wafted out from the center.

"Oh, this thing is truly wondrous. Li Yu, you should quickly thank the young master."

Seeing this, Si Liyu took the perfume from Chu Chen's hand.

She bowed slightly: "Thank you, Young Master Chu..."

"Alright, Lord Si, the sun is too scorching, we should..."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go, please invite Young Master Chu into the city."
